Now What?

Why is Ehrhoff playing?

Apparently to test the integrity of the goalposts behind Hiller.

I think the SJ coach is not making the proper adjustments. When you get 12 power plays in a game vs. the opponent’s 2 you should win.
 Every Sharks fan can take solace in the fact that they have been out shooting the Ducks, but given 20 minutes of man advantage, you better out shoot them, and you should out-score them as well.
At even strength IMO Ducks have been playing better. Short handed, not to take away from our PK unit, SJ has been making it pretty easy. They keep the same game plan over and over regardless of the results. I would quit trying to skate the puck in the offensive zone on the power play, dump and chase, you have the speed.
The thing about the officiating is not weather or not the Ducks calls are legitimate, the frustration is the inconsistency on what is going to be called. They missed some very obvious penalties SJ took, like too many men, that’s automatic, the CheeChoo interference that led to a goal. I really only thought a couple of our penalties were bogus, the Pronger cross check was more of a CheeChoo dive than anything else. The Brown elbow was bad as well, although I could see where the ref might have thought he saw an elbow from his follow through.
You would think it’s going to get easier Tuesday and Thurday for Carlye because he controls the matchups, but I think otherwise. I think San Jose will make the needed adjustments for the power play, I know they will still take less penalties then we will (that’s a given) and if Boyle plays like he did in game 1 with just one of: Cheechoo, Thorton, or Capitan Patrick playing well, they will take one if not both these next games.
